Mechanical engineering experts are increasingly turning to nature when looking for aircraft mechanical design inspiration. In an attempt to develop more fuel efficient aircraft in line with environmental compliance, engineers are looking to the natural world to explore new mechanical design techniques which may one day feature on commercial airliners. By studying the flight of birds and features of other animals, engineers can find new ways to reduce drag and better equip aircraft to adjust to changing weather conditions whilst in the air. Known as biomimicry, engineers use aspects of the natural world to come up with mechanical design in [...]
